Is everybody still satisfied with their purchase? Are they holding up? Is it just the pads or is it indeed the complete "armrest"? Thanks!

The leather armrest is an very worthwhile upgrade. It looks and feels great. I am surprised that it was not included in this very expensive chair. And,yes, it is the complete armrest and very easy to install. I hope this helps.

They have held up just like new after a year of constant use! Very good quality, so worth the price! I originally had the padded armrests covered in vinyl (?) Which started cracking and peeling in less than a year! Love the leather ones now! It is just the pad. The old armrest comes off by removing the 2 screws underneath and then these fit right in place and you secure them with the screws.

They have held up pretty good and are a good quality, but armrest shouldn't be this overpriced.

I've had mine for over a year and they are holding up quite well and they are the complete "armrest". Still very satisfied.

Thanks for the armrest information. For those commenting on the comfort of the armrest, it's not so much about comfort as it is the long-term nerve pressure on the elbows, search on "cubital tunnel syndrome" (not to be confused with carpel tunnel)

The arm rest is plastic. I had no problems this past winter on the beach in Florida. But it shows a pillow and I did not get one with my chair.

Four months is not that long but my 8 year old causes her fair share of messes on it. Everything wipes off easily. Haven't noticed any wear on material or any permanent depressions on seats not armrests even though I rest my pointy elbow quite a bit on the armrest. Hope this helps.

I've come to believe that this model doesn't come with padded arm rests any longer. But I've used other Faulkner models that do have padded arm rests. I think the padded arm rests do make it much more comfortable, especially in warm/humid weather when my arms would tend to stick to the plastic.

Is there anyone here that has owned this for a while? I am really liking the good reviews and the price BUT I'd like to know if it can last at least a year. I'd also like to know if it's good for your arms. I have read a few people saying there is limited motion. I don't mind that at all but I'd just like to make sure it can at least help to tone the arms up.

They aren't padded, but I had no problems with the armrests. My problems came from the casters and air-lift breaking.

The set is supposed to include a cover for the armrest, though my set did not come with one and I was able to get a discount from the folks who sold it to me.

A strip along the top of the arm rest is covered in the mesh/cloth material. It isn't really padded.

Short answer is "yes" These things are very comfortable and have held up well. I was beyond skeptical when I ordered and I have been nothing but satisfied. Oh, I never write reviews...did this because I am really happy with the product.

susan, it does come with the backrest but not the extra seat cushion. my bottom was sore the first couple of days just getting used to it but nothing that ibuprofen couldn't take away. the seat is large and fairly comfortable. i've thought about purchasing the gel cushion cover but now whenever i ride over 20 miles in a day, i just fold up a cushy towel and that works fine. hope this helps. today is 3 weeks for me and i have ridden a total of 347 miles which is just amazing for this former couch potato. in fact, i'm riding it typing this answer. lol!

I emailed Furniture Creations and they are not able to get replacement cushions. I asked a separate question yesterday because I see this couch on other sites with a back cushion over the arm rest on the non-chaise side, and I prefer how that looks. I emailed to ask if I could buy an extra cushion, but it's not possible. I don't understand why that's not included on this version? The price is lower than other sites, but it just seems weird that on other sites it's the same couch with one more back cushion. I'm going to contact a few other retailers and see if I can find someone who will. I tried Poundex, but as another reviewer said, they don't deal with us "general public." ;) I emailed Furniture Creations and they are not able to get replacement cushions.

the back is firm and is comfortable, the arm cushions are velcro, both of mine were damaged during shipment, I kept one and sent the other one back when I was notified by the carrier that the box was damaged. The back cushions sit straight up which I find comfortable. I think an older person would do just find with the up and down movement. Hope this helped.

One of my cars has arm rests, the back part will only pull down as far as the arm rest but its plenty of coverage. They still look and fit well.

Yes it is, I often work from home for 8-10 hours a day and haven't had any issues with the chair. Since the seat is mesh it gives a little and keeps me cool. The armrests are a thick foam with not much give to them but they aren't painful, just wish they had more cushion.

No, I did not get any arm rests....however, the table is great and I really do like it. It is very comfortable and the padding is better than any massage table I lay on when I go out somewhere for a massage. I've been pleased with this table.
